Now, jump ahead thousands of years to Homer’s Iliad traditionally dated to the eighth century BCE where the priest Chryses, harshly dismissed by Agamemnon, goes “in silence along the shore of the loud-roaring ( polufloisboio) sea.” Polu- is a common Greek and English prefix (as in polyglot). But -floisboio is not so common, and much more remarkable: It strikes the ear like, well, a crashing wave or a lackluster imitation of one. This noun from ancient Greek, polufloisbos (here, in the nominative case), is onomatopoeic: a word that somehow imitates or suggests the sound it references. We tend to like such words. Think of ....
These two movies are walking contradictions, but very important ones that show the melding of disparate types of horror into something that provides a new perspective on the fear experienced by regular people during a massive monster attack. Kaiju films like Godzilla and Pacific Rim typically focus on viewing the monster in all of its glory from above, with the camera able to capture the full scale of destruction. But, in adopting found-footage aesthetics on larger-than-life stories, CGI creations become even more terrifying as they are viewed up close and from the ground, rather than through a TV screen in a secluded office building. The tricky part is finding a balance when showing that creation from a single human perspective; filmmakers have to get creative to make sure these works of CGI are worth the money. ....
It is a misery to be a troll. You haunt the forests of Norway, live in clammy caves and inhabit bodies incapable of processing vitamin D, so that the sun can cause you to crumble into stone. Your obsession is hunting Christians, but because you live in a Norwegian wilderness far from cities, there are few Christians to be found and since some trolls are taller than trees, they can see you coming. ....
What is one prepared to do for love? In the third installment of the much-loved Norwegian action-comedy franchise Børning Roy (Anders Baasmo Christiansen) is trying to save his impending marriage, which he has almost ruined by a bad bet after one too many drinks. Now he has to either win a race or lose his fiancee. For those needing more context, Roy is a man-child whose enthusiasm for cars and racing is only matched in degree by the misfortune in his familial relationships. It’s his faithful friends who keep him going. With such a simple premise, it may seem a stretch to make three films. But then, the inspiration here is the Fast and Furious franchise, which is inching towards its 10th installment. Is Asphalt Burning Norway’s answer to Fast and Furious? Not really. The driving has its moments but the CGI is cringe-worthy and the jokes are sub-par. In fact, it makes the Fast and Furious look Oscar-worthy. So now you know. The biggest drawback is the heart of this film: ....
